Arthur VS Geoff 3rd Game
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2018 11:44 pm
What a misadventure we had tonight! I totally whupped Arthurs goatmen (yay) but we probably got more than a few rules wrong and the victory will be moot (booo) and we have more questions than answers this week!
Battle plans drawn and orders issued. The ax-drunes March x3 Pace towards the bullocks! The Legend that is Brugg, his bird and his dog go straight at the goatmen.
It's bad when your models start bitching amongst themselves. Building and painting minis can lead to an unhealthy bonding with toy soldiers.
This is just dead sweet. Love in bloom. Brugg knows what makes a good date, he's a real ladies man-thing.
We're off! The Bulls rush in to meet the Drunes and over at the t'other side the Goatmen reform and hold.
Top fight in the foreground, the Ax-Drunes and the bulls charge and counter-charge each other. The highly skillful Ysians take down one of em before they know whats hit em. The bulls' strike back and the Ysians take barely a scratch, to the great surprise of EVERYONE. T'other side of the field, the sheeples hold, waiting for a big ol' smacker.
The Ysians actually won this fight, but it was close and the mishandling of removing blood tokens led to the bulls claiming a victory. We realised later but we decided to not bother retconning it. The Ysians stood their ground, passing their panic check, so all was groovy. Whilst doing all the post-fight shenanigans we got a lesson in Exult token identification. The banner one threw us for a loop. What was it? How did it get there? We placed them thinking it just denoted who was the banner bearer but couldn't find anything in the book about it...
The best fight of the night about to kick off good style. This is where the confusion begins...
The goatmen rush in and decide to split their attacks between the two heroes...
But get well fucked *wink and thumbs up*
We could not comprehend how to tally up the victory here. It was ONE unit of Gabrax Vs TWO individuals. If Seza and the hund had been a unit, no problem, but this was a three way scrap after counter-attacks occurred. As you can see blood tokens were added when required. Hopefully Arthur will weigh in and explain it better, now there's some pictorial reference. We did screw up with counter-charging vs an indirect engagement, we realised that, but that's beside the point. Our ????? was how to resolve the attack action - whose STRength do we use, Seza's or Hund? Because there are no units in base contact with Hund, is he auto victorious? But there IS a unit in base contact with him, but it's facing Seza. It was A SINGLE attack action with THREE units but the resolution rules seem to deal with one vs one. Yeah, Arthur could do with chiming in and extrapolating the situation better I think.
Anyway, good scrap Arthur and an enjoyable evening! Don't take offence at me ribbin' your troops, just having a laugh man!
